Default New to the site, not to Nissans, here's my car (56K bake a cake)

Hey guys,

Just signed up last week the night I got my first 350Z. I'm not new to Nissans as I started with a 77 280Z that I rebuild from the ground up, had an 05 G35 Coupe 6MT, just got rid of a 90 S13 white coupe and just picked up this 03 Touring 6MT with 58K miles.

I'm in Vancouver, BC this weekend and just got back from a short jaunt over to UBC to take these pics. I hope to contribute to the forum in the future and I hope you enjoy the pics.

thats because when you drive, i have to actually grab the wheel and help you park.

And I'm laying down a challenge to you MsKrnDoll accept if your confident enough:

$100 is yours if you can show me that you can reverse park into a stall. And it has to be straight, when your done. Cant look like the way you normally park.

Thanks for the comments. As for parking like a retard, well, hey I never claimed to be a genius I just dig Nissans!

Yes, mods coming up, springs, wheels and tint. Then onto plenum, DVD Nav, etc.

Thanks for posting pics of a stock Z (like 99% of Z's that we don't ever see on the road). But welcome just the same.

I guess I should wait then till I get some pretty wheels and some carbon fiber blingety bling till I participate like all the cool kids. Sorry for burning out your retinas with my effort to be a part of the group but you know what they say...




Thanks for the welcome, just the same

Well not everyone goes out and buys an already modded car. Some folks prefer the DIY route.

Bingo!

Don't sweat it ZJoe, you're going to get crap from everyone until there's literally nothing left on the car to replace.
